ZhiLe Ship (8000)

As Ye Yu woke up, the memory of not long ago echoed in her mind. She recalled the scene where Xu Bai had her limbs broken, and her fear became more intense.

Then, the pain arrived like a slow second place runner, causing dense cold sweat to appear on her forehead.

"It hurts..." Ye Yu couldn't help shouting.

Ye Family Head looked at his members, with a look of intolerance in his eyes, but he was followed by determination. The unbearability that first appeared has disappeared with the wind. "You answer the question honestly, and I can plead with Lord Xu on your behalf and give you a happy time."

Ye Yu was slightly stunned. The pain that had just hit his whole body seemed to have slowed down for a moment. Then he turned his eyes and looked at Xu Bai's position, showing a sad smile, "Is it pleasant... When I planned to do this, I had already thought about the result. Lord Xu, you can ask whatever you want."

Failure is a capital crime, there is no other way to choose, there is no other way but death.

Ye Yu thought that she should regret it, but if she didn't do it, she would regret it even more. Compared with the long-term torture, she actually expected to have a happy time.

"What do you know? Tell me everything. For the sake of your family head, I can make you die happily." Xu Bai said calmly.

She must die.

Even after going through so many things, Xu Bai still can't change the ruthless behavior of Xu Bai.

If you have compassionate thoughts because this is a woman, then the consequences will definitely lead to disaster and harm yourself.

"The person who asked me to do these things is a demon master. He has a snake wrapped around his waist. It is a black and white snake and belongs to the demon clan." Ye Yu said, "He should be a charioteer type of demon master. The voice of the snake has the ability to bewitch. To be precise, it should not be called bewitchment, but it can amplify the desires deep in a person's heart."

She thought carefully about the first time she met that person and everything that happened after that. The only doubt was the black and white snake.

In the end, when she decided to assassinate Kong Xu, she felt that something seemed to be controlling her mind. Now that she thought about it carefully, it was her inner desires that were expanded.

"A black and white snake?"

Xu Bai It's nothing. When Kong Xu heard this sentence, his face showed an expression of surprise, as if something that was originally a good thing was shrouded in a layer of fog.

"Lord Xu, this person is on the list." Kong Xu said, "Calamity Heart Demon Master, a second-grade demon master, is good at bewitching people, amplifying their desires, and turning them into slaves. He has been wanted by the Great Chu Kingdom Bureau of Surveillance."

"Calamity Heart Demon Master?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Is this a business you are talking about?"

"It's not a profession, it's a title given by people in the world. There are good and bad titles, such as Lord Xu..." Kong Xu was mid-sentence, and suddenly closed his mouth, knowing that he seemed to have said too much.

When this sentence came out, it was as if the entire topic was suddenly distorted, and Xu Bai's interest was instantly piqued.

What? I also have a title. What's going on? Why have I never heard of it? Xu Bai asked, "You just said that I have a title, what is my title?"

When Kong Xu was asked this question, the fluentness he had just lost instantly, and he became hesitant, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it out, "Lord Xu, let's get down to business. We'll talk about the title later."

"No!" Xu Bai discovered a blind spot. "Just one sentence won't delay much. Tell me, what is my title?"

In this world, once you become famous, you will naturally get a title, but this title is not given to you.

If you could add a title to yourself, it would be too unqualified, and it wouldn't sound good if you said it out loud.

Therefore, this title was given by people in the world. Over time, it was passed down and gradually used.

There are good ones and there are bad ones, and you can naturally tell them by listening to them.

For example, Calamity Heart Demon Master sounds like a no-nonsense person.

"I think with my charisma, the title I get must be powerful." Xu Bai said slowly.

Kong Xu gritted his teeth and planned to say it out in one breath, but when he heard Xu Bai add this sentence, he was stunned.

"Lord Xu's guess is correct. It is indeed a powerful name. But there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know this title in the future. Let's..."

He still wanted to fool him, but in short, this sentence could not come out of his mouth.

Xu Bai also saw the abnormality in Kong Xu's expression, and his face darkened. "Isn't it not good?"

Kong Xu Hearing this, he waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, it's very good, but it's quite bloody. There are two girls here, so it's not good to say it."

Xu Bai The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

bloody? How could I, a majestic man, have anything to do with blood? So dirty!

Ye Zi on the side saw that Kong Xu did not dare to speak out, so he couldn't help but pursed his plump lips, smiled, and leaned close to Xu Bai's ear, using his hands as a sounding tube, and whispered...

After listening to what Ye Zi said, Xu Bai's eyes suddenly widened, and he held Black Saber Hundred Rends's hand tighter and tighter.

"Who spread the word first?"

His voice was murderous, like snowflakes falling on the ground in the cold winter, suddenly adding a layer of frost to the earth.

Kong Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Xu, this title came out naturally. We don't know who was the first to say it."

Xu Bai took a deep breath and said, "Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder, damn, this name is not poetic or picturesque at all, and it is extremely uneducated. If I know who picked it first, I will twist his head off."

Everyone: "..."

Looking at it, Xu Bai's momentum at the moment really matches this title.

"Young master, having a title is actually recognition of you by the world. This is a good thing. It proves that your strength cannot be underestimated." Ye Zi gently pressed Xu Bai's shoulders, making Xu Bai relax.

As far as talking is concerned, Ye Zi can talk. A few words made Xu Bai feel a little more comfortable.

"Hurry up and give me a good time." Ye Yu also took advantage of this opportunity and said, "I have said what needs to be said. I don't know anything else. I really don't know anything."

She was still suffering from the pain of having her limbs broken, so she had no choice but to speak out.

If they want to continue talking like this, it will probably take a lot of time, so it's better to have a good time.

Saying that, Ye Yu closed his eyes.

Before Xu Bai could take action, the Ye Family clan next to him turned around and said to Xu Bai.

"Lord Xu, she is my Ye Family, I want to send her on her last journey, is that okay?"

This sentence is reasonable and well-founded, and it also plays the emotional card.

Xu Bai looked at Ye Family Head with interest, stretched out his right hand, and a paper crane flew out, landed on Ye Yu's head, and turned into ashes.

Seeking Traces had no effect, so he said, "Ye Family Head is indeed a businessman, and his abacus is very good. Okay, you can do it."

What Ye Family Head said just now was actually to clear away her suspicions and even gain a good reputation for herself. After all, she could kill her relatives righteously and there would be no explanation for her being outside.

"Thank you Lord Xu."

Ye Family Head walked up to Ye Yu, raised his hand and was about to strike.

Ye Yu's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, looked at Ye Family Head, and said, "Master, I am a sinner myself, but I also understand now that there is something wrong with the family's development model. If it continues like this, it will always be just dependence."

"This is not something you should worry about. Let's go." Ye Family Head shook his head and slapped Ye Yu on the head.

The next moment, Ye Yu tilted his head and lost the breath of life.

Ye Family Head looked at the body of Ye Yu, then looked at Xu Bai.

Of course she knows that today's form is always dependent on others.

But now she has found a new strategy. As long as Xu Bai reaches Capital City, Ye Zi can integrate the tracks, and Yin Fiber Tune that reaches the second level can change the situation.

Therefore, all her treasures are in Xu Bai.

"LeShui Festival, I will go with Lord Xu three days later." Ye Family Head said, "It is also to show my loyalty."

Xu Bai nodded and did not refuse.

If there is one more person, there will be one more power. Of course, he will not refuse stupidly.

"In three days, my injury should be healed, and I will go with Lord Xu then." Kong Xu followed.

Xu Bai continued to nod.

This Kong Xu's fortune-telling ability is quite good. After he recovers from his injury, he will do the fortune-telling first, and then go and see the so-called LeShui Festival.

By now, everything has been settled, and Xu Bai didn't stay. He had to hurry up and go back to Yin Fiber Tune, so he left with Ye Zi and Fourth-Rank Puppet.

In three days, he estimated that he should be able to finish the exercise in his hand, after all, he had done some exercise before.

After returning to the room, Ye Zi concentrated on making the bed for Xu Bai, while Xu Bai was thinking about it while looking at the progress bar in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

In Xu Bai's room, he was looking at the book in his hand attentively. The progress bar was slowly growing, and there was only the last little bit left before completion.

Ye Zi stood aside and said nothing obediently.

After about one stick of incense, the progress bar in front of me finally reached perfection.

Light blue smoke appeared, and then, it gathered into a line of text in mid-air and appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[You observe Yin Fiber Tune and understand Yin Fiber Tune.]

The words were simple, but after they appeared, they turned into nothingness, and then a series of messages entered his mind.

But only halfway through, the information stopped, and new light blue smoke appeared.

[Founded fusion options, fusion in progress...]

[Yin Fiber Tune+Inverted Purple Firmament Gale Wind Yin Yang Chaos=Inverted Purple Firmament Gang Wind Yin Yang Melody.]

[Integration successful.]

Xu Bai The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This golden finger is really bad. I didn't even choose the name carefully, and just changed a word randomly.

But fortunately, at least it has been changed, unlike before where it was not even changed.

Xu Bai stood up, handed Yin Fiber Tune to Ye Zi, and said, "Keep it and learn slowly."

As he spoke, he watched the light blue text in front of him turn into information again and penetrate into his mind, and then the True Yuan Power in his body increased a little.

The latest panel appears.

[Name: Xu Bai.]

[Realm: Third Rank Loose Cultivator.]

[Chess Saber Five Styles (Level 7): Full level.]

[Inverted Purple Firmament Gang Wind Yin Yang Melody (Level 7.5): Full level.]

[Returning Wind Flowing Snow (Level 5): Full level.]

[Movement Breaking Three Turns (Level 5): Full level.]

[Cosmic Shift (Level 4): Full level.]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (level 4); full level.]

[Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art (Level 5): Full level.]

[Hundred Poisons True Explanation (Level 3): Full level.]

[Ingenious Craft Puppet Technique (Level 6): Full level.]

[Undying Body (disabled) (level 5): full level.]

[Comprehension: Full level.]

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guys, this long-lost level 0.5 has appeared again.

This also happened to give him proof that the current technique was pretty good. After all, it was only level 7.5 after being integrated with a sixth-level one.

Although there was no major improvement, many changes occurred within him.

In his mind, the soul grew stronger. At the same time, Xu Bai could feel that his perception of the surroundings had become stronger. If someone was hiding around, he could easily find it.

Not only that.

The most important thing is that he has mastered the ability of Ye Zi.

With a slight movement of his fingers, he pulled out Black Saber Hundred Rends from his waist.

The next moment, Black Saber Hundred Rends turned into fragments all over the sky.

These fragments were waving in the air, performing Chess Saber Five Styles.

Moreover, the fragments displayed have melodious sounds, which can not only accelerate the fragments, but also affect the opponent.

Ye Zi covered his mouth with his hands, his face full of surprise.

Young Master... seems to be already better than her in terms of spiritual attainments.

"Sir, are you one of those reincarnated old monsters? I heard that some old monsters can be reincarnated..." Ye Zi muttered softly.

But before he finished speaking, his head was knocked by Xu Bai.

Ye Zi covered his head, his face full of grievances.

"What old monster, have you ever said that about your young master?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

He is quite happy now that he has received compensation from his soul.

Ye Zi rolled his eyes and pursed his lips and said, "Sir, is Ye Zi useless..."

She suddenly felt as if she had lost the characteristics of a tool person.

"It's useful." Xu Bai said, "When you play, plus my fragmentary playing, the superimposed effect will be stronger."

Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As long as it was useful, she was afraid that she would have no place to help Xu Bai.

"Okay, you can leave now." Xu Bai stood up and walked to the door.

Now that the progress bar has finished and the time has expired, let's go and see what medicine the other party sold in the gourd.

Ye Zi took a few quick steps, ran to the door, opened the door, and followed Xu Bai out.

front yard.

Kong Xu and Ye Family Head have been waiting there for a long time. Old Sun has also recovered a lot during this time and is standing in the yard waiting.

When they saw Xu Bai arriving, they all said hello.

"From now on, you can't call me Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder, understand?" Xu Bai said very solemnly.

"I know, I know." Everyone nodded, indicating that they would never propose this title.

Xu Bai nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Ye Family Head spoke.

"Lord Xu, LeShui Festival starts at night, shall we go there now?"

LeShui Festival is the annual festival of Wind Chime Prefecture.

As Wind Chime Prefecture who advocates music, music has been integrated into their daily lives. From the nobles to the commoners, they all understand it more or less. Even in their daily lives, many people are intoxicated by it.

Once there are too many people, some things will form a festival to celebrate.

Every time you arrive at LeShui Festival, XunLe River, there will be a lot of fun boats.

The so-called "Le Chuan" is actually a very large boat. It got such a nickname just because it was used for this festival.

On the music boat, people are singing and dancing, having fun.

Not only dignitaries, but also ordinary people will board music boats on this day to exchange music or listen to beautiful music.

This is something that is appreciated by both refined and popular people. It has been passed down in Wind Chime Prefecture, and even many outsiders hang out here.

"Of course we go now." Xu Bai said.

There is nothing to do if you stay here, so why not rush over there early to see if anything happens over there.

Ye Family Head understood, nodded, and stopped talking.

Xu Bai looked at Kong Xu and asked, "By the way, can you calculate something?"

Kong Xu turned around and said, "Lord Xu, I have tried it just now. Without any basis, it is difficult to calculate. Maybe I can find some clues tonight and I can figure out the clues."

Xu Bai pondered for a moment.

Maybe we will find something tonight. When we find something, let Kong Xu do the math and see if we can figure something out.

"Let's go." Xu Bai thought of this and said.

Next, Ye Family Head took the lead and began to rush towards the XunLe River.

Ye Family was still some distance away from the XunLe River. They walked for about half an hour before reaching their destination.

This river is very big and wide, and at this moment, the river, which was rarely visited by people before, is already full of various boats.

Large boats can accommodate hundreds of people, and small boats can accommodate five or six people.

Whether people want to go on a big boat to join the fun, or want to be quiet and go on a small boat, there are options here.

Not only that, the riverside was overcrowded, and many people had already arrived early.

Those large and small ships are also being arranged.

All kinds of exquisite lanterns are hung on it, and even couplets are pasted on it, or colorful strips are hung on it.

A feeling of joy and harmony.

"Sir, that's the biggest music boat, Music-Knowing Boat." Ye Zi's face was covered with a veil, and he stretched out his white and slender fingers, pointing in one direction.

Xu Bai looked in the direction Ye Zi pointed and saw a ship that could accommodate hundreds of people moored in the center of the river.

In the middle of the ship, there is a plaque with the words "Music-Knowing Boat" written on it.

"Who built such a big ship?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, looked back and forth, and asked.

"It's the first family of the Lin Family and Wind Chime Prefecture." Ye Zi explained, "It is said that their family has intersection with many dignitaries in Capital City. Lin Family is very good at war drums. The head of the family has reached the third grade of musician, and is the drum master of the musician branch."

Xu Bai heard this and nodded.

He just treated these things as news. As for other things, he was not interested. He was only interested in those demon masters now.

"That's right." Xu Bai seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Why haven't I seen you use musical instruments?"

He suddenly remembered that Ye Family was actually a branch of musicians. Why had he never seen Ye Zi using a musical instrument? He only saw Ye Zi playing with silk threads made of white light.

Now, Xu Bai Yin Fiber Tune has reached perfection, and naturally we understand that if we have musical instruments, the power will be doubled.

"Sir, Ye Family's musical instrument methods are all in Yin Fiber Tune in the next volume, so we don't know what to use." Ye Zi said.

The second volume had been lost, and of course they couldn't find it, so they had to use the method of the first volume.

Xu Bai hummed, said no more, and focused on looking at the river.

At this moment, there are more and more people, and as time goes by, the sun gradually sets.

It's getting late, but it's like daylight here.

Various lanterns were hung high, and even on both sides of the XunLe River, there were rows of lanterns hanging side by side, their fire-like light illuminating the river surface.

An event like this would naturally have to be hosted by someone.

Not long after, in the sight of Xu Bai, a middle-aged man walked out of the largest ship, Music-Knowing Boat.

This man was dressed in silk and satin, and looked rich and noble. He had a kind smile on his face and looked very kind.

When this person came out, the lively scene around him paused for a while, and everyone's eyes followed this person's figure and looked over.

"Everyone, whether you are a local or from out of town, you are all welcome to attend this annual event for me, Wind Chime Prefecture." The middle-aged man wearing silk satin laughed and said, "I, Lin Yong, am the head of the Lin Family's family, and I am here to host this event. Now I have an order from the government to invite us."

There were two boys around, picking up a red cloth and standing on both sides of the boat.

The red cloth was pulled straight, and behind the red cloth, Wind Chime Prefecture's governor came up wearing official uniform, holding a pair of scissors in his right hand.

As usual, I said a few words for the occasion.

At this time, the crowd was already very excited. After all, you can only participate in it once a year, so of course it was very exciting.

"Okay, I see that everyone is extremely excited, so I will announce that LeShui Festival has begun."

The government order cut the red cloth with scissors, and the next moment, LeShui Festival officially began.

When the red cloth was cut, cheers burst out one after another, and all kinds of noises also came out one after another.

LeShui Festival, it begins.

"Sir, if you want to go to the largest Music-Knowing Boat, you have to cross that boat first." Ye Zi pointed next to Music-Knowing Boat.

Not far from Music-Knowing Boat, there is a boat that can only accommodate a few dozen people. People boarded it one after another and people got off it.

"Interesting." Xu Bai said with a smile, "It seems that you have to pass a test before you can go up. What is the test, is it temperament?"

Ye Zi said softly, "Young master, you guessed it right. Naturally, I have to take the music test."

At this time, Ye Family Head said, "Ye Zi and I should have no problem. Mr. Xu, Mr. Kong Xu, and Mr. Old Sun, please be our servants for the time being, so that you can have an excuse to go up."

Those who can pass the test are naturally high-ranking officials. Of course they will bring their servants up, and no one will stop them.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and nodded.

In fact, for him, taking the temperament test is no longer a problem. After all, even Yin Fiber Tune has reached the full level.

But at this time, it is better to be a little low-key.

Even Xu Bai has no problem, and Kong Xu naturally has no problem either.

After everything was arranged, everyone took a small boat and headed towards the boat next to Music-Knowing Boat.

Along the way, Xu Bai's soul was sensing changes around it, but nothing happened.

There was no abnormality, and there were no sneaky demon masters. It was as if nothing had happened.

But what the centipede said seemed to still be in my ears. Something important would definitely happen tonight.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the ship, and in a blink of an eye, it was already there.

When Xu Bai stepped in, he discovered that the surroundings were already crowded, and there was a light placed everywhere on the ship.

In the holder of each lamp, there is a note.

Various topics were written on the slips of paper.

"Master, if you want to answer the questions, just take those questions to the servants on the ship and tell them the answers. As for whether they are correct, the servants on the ship have already memorized them." Ye Zi approached Xu Bai and whispered.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "How can the rhythm be summed up in one answer?"

Ye Zi said, "There is no way, this is the only way."

Xu Bai thought for a moment and realized that the secret passage was indeed the case.

If we really want to achieve perfection, it will cost too much manpower and material resources, and it will be very difficult.

After all, how can these servants understand profound music alone?

If we want those who know music to be the judge, there will be too few of them. With so many people here, the scene will be extremely chaotic.

Not long after, Ye Family Head found the questions, walked up to a servant, answered them one by one, and passed the test smoothly.

After all, he is also a member of the Wind Chime Prefecture family. Naturally, Ye Family Head's identity is known to many people, and people around him look at him from time to time.

Under the leadership of the servant, Xu Bai and others came to the transfer point between the small boat and the big ship.

There is an upward staircase at the junction. Follow this staircase to get to Music-Knowing Boat.

Xu Bai was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, before he could take two steps, there was a sound coming from around him.

"Ye Family Head, you have enough servants today."

Xu Bai Hearing this, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he turned his head to follow the voice.

A woman dressed in silk walked slowly over, her hair tied up high with a hosta on it.

Ye Family Head's face instantly darkened when he saw this woman.

She took a look at Xu Bai's face and didn't want to talk to this woman anymore. She just wanted to take Xu Bai up.

The woman in silk didn't intend to let go of Ye Family Head at all. She walked up to Ye Family Head in two steps, stopped in the middle, raised her right hand, and pointed at Ye Zi gracefully.

"I heard that your Ye Family's Ye Zi is back. Why did you bring her on board? I think people like this who don't care about family interests should be kicked off."

Ye Zi: "..."

To be honest, she thought about other situations, but she didn't think it was because of her.

Ye Family Head gritted his teeth and approached Liu Family Head and said, "I advise you to get out of the way quickly."

If it were normal times, Ye Family Head would really say something here, but it is different now. There is also Xu Bai behind him.

If Xu Bai is unable to board the ship because of this matter, then everyone will be blamed and everyone will suffer.

Liu Family Head also didn't expect that Ye Family Head would be in this state. She herself came over to say a few words and humiliate Ye Family Head. After all, the two families themselves had a lot of grievances.

As for what the grievances are, things between these families are very complicated.

She just heard that the escaped Ye Zi was back, so she ran over to check it out.

Unexpectedly, he got such an answer.

They are all heads of the family, so they naturally have some IQs, so for a moment, Liu Family Head seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the man next to Ye Zi.

The next moment, Liu Family Head raised his hand and pointed at Xu Bai, his face full of shock.

"Blood Slaughtering Saber Wielder!"

This sentence was full of shock, but no one could hear it clearly due to the noise around him.

As the old saying goes, as people from these big families, they naturally already know what Xu Bai looks like.

Just now Liu Family Head didn't care about the situation on Xu Bai's side. Now after seeing Xu Bai's appearance clearly, he was not only shocked but also shocked.

When these four words were spoken, Liu Family Head didn't think anything was wrong, but Ye Family Head already knew in his heart that this guy had completely offended Xu Bai.

Sure enough, Xu Bai's face instantly darkened.

Your uncle's.

You still gave me this title, right?

He looked directly at Liu Family Head with cold eyes. If the current situation was not different, he would probably give Liu Family Head some words.

Liu Family Head soon realized that he had said the wrong thing, after all, Xu Bai had that look on his face.

"Liu Family Head, after tonight, I hope you still understand. You have also seen that Lord Xu is on my side now." Ye Family Head saw Liu Family Head looking stupid and stupid, and found it funny, so he went up and taunted him a few words.

Then, everyone abandoned the stupid Liu Family Head and walked towards Music-Knowing Boat.

Xu Bai boarded Music-Knowing Boat and discovered that this ship was even bigger than before.

Although it is very big, not many people can come up, so it seems extremely empty.

People in twos and threes were communicating with each other, and it was obvious that many people knew each other.

"Lord Xu, what should we do next?" Kong Xu asked quietly.

They have indeed arrived, but they have no next plan. After all, everything seems to be business as usual here.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Just wait and see what happens. Before that, you need to get familiar with the situation here and walk around."

Let's get familiar with the situation here first. As for the rest, we have to see if anything unusual happens and then follow the clues.

Everyone nodded. Xu Bai was the backbone here. They followed Xu Bai's method and started walking around the ship.

The ship is divided into three levels, and they are on the lowest level now.

And next, Xu Bai seems to have really underestimated his reputation in the world.

Most of the people who can come on this ship are proficient in music, and those who can be proficient in music in Wind Chime Prefecture are naturally high-ranking officials.

Being able to become a high-ranking official, of course, they will also care about the changes in the current situation around them, so they all know what Xu Bai looks like.

Then, before Xu Bai and the others could walk hundreds of meters, he was surrounded by people around him.

"Seen Lord Xu."

Looking at the flattering expressions of these people, it was as if they were all trying their best to please him.

Xu Bai Suddenly felt that sometimes being a celebrity is not so good.
